Jack-o-lantern

Yesterday afternoon, Momma and Sawyer made some Halloween cookies to spread the Halloween cheer to our neighbors (try decorating cookies to Abba, it's great fun!)...

Later, Daddy came rushing home from work on his bike so we could get down to the real business we'd planned as our family night activity...pumpkin carving! Sawyer got the ultimate sensory experience while playing with the pumpkin "guts"!

While Sawyer played, Momma did, too, as she cleaned out our dear "Jack"...

We even tried putting Sawyer's toes in the mess...but he preferred using his hands to explore...

Daddy did the actual carving. He is a great pumpkin artist, don't cha think? Now we are all set for the big night!

The cookies look good.

I was thinking about your little man after Mom's group and came to this conclusion: there are cute babies (they're all cute, right?)and then there are CUTE babies and oh-my-goodness, you have a CUTE baby. :) We can't wait to hack into our pumpkin with Nathan on Friday and let him dig around in it. I'm all about the tactile experiences for the little ones.
